Name: Taxodium distichum - Platanus occidentalis Edwards Plateau Forest
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This open forest is dominated by Taxodium distichum with Platanus occidentalis usually occurring as the second most important species. Large individuals of Taxodium distichum are typical. There is no significant midstory, but Salix nigra, Cephalanthus occidentalis, Celtis laevigata var. laevigata, Celtis laevigata var. reticulata, Amorpha fruticosa, and Sabal minor may occur as tall shrubs or small trees. The ground layer is highly disturbed by flooding and may have areas of standing water. This community occurs as narrow (5-25 m) strips along floodplains of perennial streams that run through steep-sided canyons. Deep, alluvial soils are usually saturated and periodically inundated during flood events. Forests and woodlands dominated by Quercus buckleyi, Quercus laceyi, and Juniperus ashei occur on adjacent canyon slopes.
